And although I am going to use this equipment for a commerical shop, I’m a one man shop who intends to make mostly small things. So even working as fast as I can I won’t be using any tool on the scale of a regular working production shop. This is my retirement job, I don’t want to work that hard. That’s why I don’t want to pay $5000 for a planer that may sit in the shop taking up space and hardly ever get used.
